It's reflection o'clock! And I must admit that this prompt came just at the right time when I decided to pause and really check my recent activities in relation to my personal goals. Yeah, I do set yearly, monthly, weekly, and even daily goals, but as humans, circumstances beyond my control will always play out to interrupt with my goals, whereas sometimes I can just be too lazy or too careless to follow up with my goals. This is in relation to what happened to me majorly last month, of which I am sitting back to really reflect on them and make changes where necessary.
Last month has come and gone, and I kept asking myself how I did all I did. It's quite unlike me, and I know that it's either I cut off this new relationship I got or strictly not allowed that intrude into my personal activities as I kept striving for a better future. For you to really get the picture of my reflection, take a look at the inleo prompt topic description below.
What's something you missed or didn’t pay much for in the last month? Reflect on it now and share a lesson you’ve learned from that experience.
Making new friends is never a bad idea. I have known that people are wealth. In fact, you might be lucky to be a close friend with someone who would change your life for good. So you see, I am a good advocate of socializing with people, but it becomes a concern when I come in contact with a new friend that has a total different mindset from mine. It's either the friendship makes me or it mare me, and that's why being sensitive in every one of my actions is of great importance.
Having said that, somehow, I had contact with this person, and gradually we became friends just in October. This lady is someone who is already financially buoyant while I am still on the path of achieving my financial freedom. She is the type that loves going out always, and to make it easier, she has a ride. So almost every two-day interval, she will come and drag me so we can go out and visit this spa, this mall, this eatery, and so on. She is always taking care of the whole bill on every of our movements, but then this movement with her always, started affecting my daily activities. I found myself carrying over some of my daily tasks, which rarely happens, but it started happening more often because of her.
The height of it all was that it decreased a little the attention I reserved for my kids and also made me miss some spiritual activities I do attend in my church.
So when November came, I said no. Obviously, I can't continue with being close with this lady; otherwise, I will keep lagging behind with my personal activities, which will in turn not be of any advantage to me but possible regret. I started withdrawing myself from her and could give her silly excuses whenever she called for one movement between me and her. I wouldn't say that I have totally cut the ties between us, but to a large extent, I have set some boundaries and started reclaiming my lost activities like before.
Overall, I would say that in the last month, I missed being up and doing with my daily goals because of this new friendship, but I have learned to always watch out for anything that is contrary to my lifestyle and adjust to avoid losing focus in life.

You better enjoy it while it last 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Eyy, so, you have experienced something like this last month.
Don't be shocked when she would insist you pay for your next meals the next time you go out because she has been paying for these. Lol
Some friendships aren't worth staying in, especially when they are taking our productive time away. It's good you are trying to cut ties and set boundaries too. Didn't you tell her your schedule both online and offline? But wait..don't spill that of online world oo. She go hack your account 😃😃
Haha 😂😂😂, your last statement really off me 🤣🤣..this babe, be calming down lolz
This one is taking my productive time away and ur doesn't just sit well with me...
She is aware of my online activities and I won't even refer her to hive.. LOLZ
😀😀😀 that's why I don't like how Hive made our wallets so transparent. It's easier for one to know how loaded we are 🤣 and they won't understand when they come to us begging for money and we tell them no. We are already bad persons to them. Lol. Nonsense 😄
This is the thing about people. We don’t have the same priorities and this lady seems to lack priority. It’s not always easy to let people go but if it is necessary, then it is a must. Well done mama.
I am kinda finding it difficult to let go of her completely cos I naturally like her but only detest her lack of priorities
I can understand it. If spending time with her was your personal time and when it became frequent it became trouble for you and you couldn't able to manage your time well.

Yea...it was becoming so frequent to deal with and it got me quite uncomfortable 😣
